CHINESE PALMISTRY.
A Few Interesting Items OF Simon.Puro
Oriental Philosophy.
IN Y World


Oriental Philosophy.
IN. Y. World.l
The recent lectures on palmistry have
greatly amused the Chinese population
here, who are, as rule, all palmists to
certain extent. 1t is science taught in
their schools for thousands Of years. AL
most the very first thing when boy is
able to walk, his future occupation is
marked out for him by examination of the
palm Of his left hand. If the child is a
girl the right hand is examined. Know
ing these to be facts, visited two Of the
best palmists among the Celestials of this
city and got from one Lam Lum, Of D5
Pearl street, a sort of Chinese fortune
teller, the following interesting items Of
Oriental philosophy:
''There are millions of people," said
lam, ''who are born alike and un-
der the same star, and that is the reason
there are SO many common people. 1t IS
only occasionally man or woman is born
under an uncommon star and under other
favorable circumstances. But the cipcum-
stances will never alter the course OF
heaven. This is the reason that we have
an occasionally great character The
moment child is born we look at the
star; or the position Of the sun where such
star ought to have been, and then we
look Immediately into the palm OF the
infants hand-only one, the left on the
male nd the right on the fentale-to see
whether the left-line on the palm cor
responds with the most notable star OF the
moment, and other principal lines cor
respond with the other stars.
every line in the left hand of the male
has certain bearing in history and life
to one of the many planets of the frma-
ment. For instance: 'Tsal Num- or the
line of fortune, which is situated in the
middle of the palm, running perpendicu-
larly toward the middle finger, if that is
very prominent, and running up and reach
ing across the first joint, and that in
dividual be born upon the very day and
moment that the 'Tsai Sing or the star
of fortune, should make its appearance,
why, that man will either be million
aire or some other kind of great man.
Or, if he were born under the star Why
sing or Star of Misfortune, and then the
by Mum line (Which extends crossWis Sc
in the upper portion Of the palm) or the.
line of misfortune, is prominent the best
thing for that man to do is to become a
hermit or an Arctic explorer where he is
not liable to come into contact with people
to get himself into trouble.n
Further Lam said: ''That the palm that
has the least lines perceivable are gener-
ally the happiest of all men, because they
have but very little thoughts beyond that
of earning an honorable living; gener ally
have good home and warm clothing IN
winter, but no fame and no notorietv.
Those palms that are filled with many and
complicated lines denote great and turbh-
lent minds Genuine geniuSeS in art as
well as literature come from such palms. 1"

STORY oE A PARROT.

A Bird That Asked and Answered Ques'
tions Like . Human Being,
Sir William Temple tells this al bout Z
Brazilian parrot which Prince Maurice
met in his travels: Il had a. mind,
said Sir William, ito know from Prince
Maurice's own mouth the account of q
common and much-credite6 story of an
old parrot he had seen in Brazil, dur
ing his government there, that spoke,
and asked and answered common ques-
tions like a reasonable creature. Prince
Maurice said there was something true,
but great deal false, of what had
been reported. He had heard of such
parrot when he went to Brazil, and
though he believed nothing of it, and
it was a good way off, he had the cur
iosity to send for it; that it was very
great and very old one, and when it
came into the room where the Prince
was with good many Dutchmer
about him, it said presently:
"'What company of white men
are herei
"'They asked it what it thought that
man was, pointing to the Princep II
answered:
"'Some General or other
"When they brought it close to him
he asked it:
Whence came you?"

"'You look after the chickensp'
"The parrot answered:
"'Yes, I; and I know how to do it
very WE'LL
"And then he made the chuck, chuck,
chuck, three or four times that people
used to make to chickens when they
called them.
II set down the words of this dia-
logue," said Sir William, "just as
Prince Maurice said them to me. I
asked him in what language the parrot
conversed, and he said in Brazilian. I
asked him whether he understood
Brazilian. He said no; but he had
taken care to have two Interpreters
with him-one a Dutchman who spoke
Brazilian and the other Brazilian who
spoke Dutch; that he asked them sepa-
rately and privately, and both of them
agreed in telling him just the same
thing the parrot said. ."-BoStoaa Record.

on the opposite side of the street shot at
